Speeed’s take
The break from the numbering system and the point at which Levi's went properly baggy, which is why the line owns the nineties in skate, grunge and hip-hop simultaneously. Heavily collected now.
“My current shorts-related eBay search terms are Polo Andrew short, vintage Columbia shorts, Levi's silver tab denim shorts, vintage Umbro shorts.”
“Okay, enough with the numbers. These new pants are called SilverTabs. SilverTabs are when Levi's really started getting baggy — and that's when skateboarders started wearing them, that's when the grunge guys started wearing them, and the hip-hop guys started wearing them.”
